The picturesque village of Galmpton is 3 m to historiic Brixham and 1.7m to Greenway, once home to Agatha Christie and now run by the National Trust, set on the banks of the River Dart with breathtaking views it offers a lovely outing with extensive grounds and restaurant.. From Greenway a few mins walk to the river Dart where a passenger ferry crosses to the heavenly village of Dittisham with its quirky riverside Ferry Boat Inn. The ferry runs all year and for the return journey a large bell summons the ferry - great fun for the children as is the crabbing off the small pier. 6 miles to the ancient town of Totnes with its many interesting shops, tearooms and riverside restaurants. From Totnes a trip to the grounds of nearby 10th C. Dartington Hall and the Sharpham vineyard is a must. Ferry boat trips, steam railways and Paington Zoo are all closeby. Coastal paths and the historic town of Dartmouth via car ferry 5m. From Brixham Berry Head cliff top walks, sea views
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
